H&R Lowering Springs - Before and After Pics

2 questions. Was stock camber maintained after the install or was an adjustment necessary? Does installing lowering springs in any way invalidate any part my CX-5's warranty?
 
You should do an alignment. Angles have changed. You will have premature inner tire wear.

Camber goes negative on both ends (more in the back) and there is no adjustment for that unless you install aftermarket components.
 
Do both front and rear need camber adjustment parts installed? Any manufacturer suggestions on these parts?

FYI negative camber by itself will not cause premature tire wear, especially with higher-profile tires with more flexible sidewalls like 50-series or taller. Negative camber combined with toe-out (which happens when most cars are lowered, especially in the front) will absolutely wear the tires quickly. That's why the alignment is so important after lowering - to fix the toe angles. Not to mention there's not much negative camber gain with the McPherson strut type of suspension anyway.
